| Abstract |
Active public policies are becoming more important in a rapid transition of an aging society. An aging population has resulted in a higher emphasis and need of a 'neighborhood-making policy' outlining the role of elderly people in our communities. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to focus upon a policy direction making in order to solve elderly problems and issues. The study involved analyzing appropriate case studies and conducting surveys. Survey conducted on the neighborhood-making activists in Incheon, South Korea, revealed that participation of the elderly, in community activities were low. Additionally, activists were optimistic about the role of elderly in the community. Based on these results, neighborhood-making policies were proposed to increase participation of the elderly via activities including healthy living, economic activity, housing, environmental, and social participation to overall increase the quality of life of the aging population. |
